United States New Home Sales
The signing of a sales contract or the receipt of a deposit constitutes the completion of the sale of a new home. The house can be in any stage of development: it could be in the planning stages, in the middle of construction, or completely finished. In the United States, new house sales account for around 10% of the total housing market. New single-family home sales are particularly unpredictable from month to month, and early estimates are subject to significant changes due to the fact that they are derived mostly from data derived from building permits.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the USD while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the USD.
